Coronation Street: Ryan is attracted to Katy - video preview

The pair will get friendly next week at an 18th birthday party. Could this be the start of a new Street romance?

Here's the moment when Ryan (Sol Heras) sees Katy (Georgia May Foote) in a whole new light as the pair get friendly at an 18thbirthday party.

After months at home looking after baby Joseph, Katy decides to go out and have a bit of fun in the episode set to air on Friday 22 February. But despite her friends swooning over Ryan, who’s been booked as a DJ, it seems he only has eyes for Katy:

“He’s not really crossed paths with Katy enough before to notice the attraction,” says actor Sol Heras, who plays Ryan. “But when he walks over, he immediately notices her dressed up a bit more and sees how pretty she is. That’s the moment when he realises there’s an attraction there. His priority is then to talk to Katy.”

In the weeks to come, viewers will see Katy get a job at the kebab shop with Ryan, where it's only a matter of time before she's tempted by the Weatherfield bad boy and strays from her relationship with Chesney (Sam Aston).
